 matthewcroughan | Here is the txpower patch that works | 10:07:31 |
| matthewcroughan | Like I keep saying, openwrt didn't merge the fix, and didn't understand it or test it properly. They merged a different PR that says it does the same thing, but that doesn't work. | 10:08:03 |
| matthewcroughan | So the actual fix, remains unmerged | 10:08:08 |
| matthewcroughan | https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/17489#issuecomment-2797116013 read up | 10:11:00 |
| matthewcroughan | Firmware has never changed the txpower behavior | 10:11:38 |
| matthewcroughan | Even frank-w is applying the wrong patch, after thumbs-uping my comment | 10:12:12 |
| matthewcroughan | I am not sure why people that don't have effected units are merging commits that claim to fix it, and then not testing it | 10:12:30 |
| matthewcroughan | that means the correct patch won't even merge properly now without a revert, ffs | 10:12:58 |
| matthewcroughan | Hope that shit doesn't get into mainline | 10:15:10 |
| matthewcroughan | Or maybe not.. hard to tell, it looks like it might be the case that this is a third patch | 10:21:32 |
| matthewcroughan | I'll have to try it | 10:21:37 |
| matthewcroughan | Do you feel like rebasing your bpi-r4-test branch, or should I just make my own kernel fork at this point? :D | 10:22:08 |
| matthewcroughan | K900: | 10:22:10 |
 K900 | Rebasing on what? | 10:23:36 |
| matthewcroughan | Ah no | 10:23:41 |
| K900 | It should be 6.15.0 right now | 10:23:41 |
| matthewcroughan | https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/pull/968/files | 10:23:43 |
| matthewcroughan | This is the patch that doesn't work | 10:23:46 |
| matthewcroughan | this is what frank-w applied https://github.com/danpawlik/mt76/commit/c1012086e5f6130b687fa7b6ea9537c422012d7c | 10:23:56 |
| matthewcroughan | so it appears he continued to apply the wrong patch | 10:24:11 |
| matthewcroughan | Oh so you're no longer rebasing frank-w's tree? | 10:24:28 |
| K900 | I am not tracking it directly, no | 10:24:33 |
 emily | well if it's just shipping the wifi card I'm happy to | 11:48:28 |
| matthewcroughan | I doubt it would be, they're not that competent | 11:49:35 |
| emily | those comments are all from before the newest firmware though. and before the section on the official site specifically pointing to a patched ROM to improve txpower. | 11:49:38 |
| emily | but it didn't work for me anyway. | 11:49:41 |
| matthewcroughan | it would be the whole order, which includes everything else | 11:49:42 |
| emily | I mean. | 11:49:56 |
| emily | you bought from a random reseller, right? | 11:50:00 |
| emily | I bought from SinoVoip, so I'd be dealing with them directly. | 11:50:06 |
